Popular Post episevilla Posted September 5, 2011 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2011 Hallo, gentlemen! Here I am, in Curitiba, Paraná -- Brazil. I arrived on Aug. the 27th, to attend a conference... also not a lot of time to go around. Anyway, here it is my report. (English is a foreing, too foreing languague for me: so excuse bad spelling, vocabulary and sintax). Hotel: I'm staying at the Hotel Mabú, at Praça Santos de Andrade. Very nice and central, very good service and facilities; a 5 stars hotel. And I had no problems recieving guests. Since my hosts provided the hotel, I do not know very much about prices: 200-150 € x day? It is not very cheap, sure. (Everything around here are at European price levels: books, clothing, restaurants...) City: pretty safe and clean by Latinamerican standards (I'm quoting a Brazilian colleague from Sao Paulo, now at Florianipolis). A nice, but small old town. Someting to see: beatiful Botanic Garden, the great Niemeyer bulding so called Museo do Oculo (Eye-museum, from the eye-shaped tower), Opera de Arame... nice, but nothing so special to justify a touristic visit. The must in Parana are the Iguaçu Waterfalls, in Foz do Iguaçu (one hour flight from Curitiba). The Mabu Hotels have a (good) resort there. Weather: some days winter cold (7º Celsius), some days Springtime (in the twenties range). The traveller should bring something hot if visiting this state in late August (Curitiba lays ca. 900 mts above sea level and it is far from the Equador). Food and drinks: as usual in Brazil, they like beef, and churrascos are good; I had a very tasty picanha. Fish meals are mediocre -- at least for an Spanish taste. Since Italian inmigrants are a significant share of the Paranaense population, Italian food is quite popular. There are a local, acceptable production of red wines... far below the Argentinian and Chilean (or, let us say, the Rivera del Duero or Rioja in Spain) wines. People: I have no problems in meeting local (young) people at Manhunt; as you may know, Brazilians like older men (at lest in my 50's). Apart of many contacts and phone colls, I actually met four guys, having sex with three of them (with a furry, blond, nicely malhado young man more than once). I visited two saunas. Last saturday I went to Clube 520, at Senador Souza Neves St. # 520. A nice villa, with good facilities. More clients than garotos (30 to 10 +-), but they said weekends are the worst days for meeting garotos. Another client, rather young & athletic, wanted to play with me, but I did prefer to consider first the garotos offer. Two very muscular, somehow arrogant types (no kissing etc.), two very handsome guys with great difined bodys... 80 reais is the current fare. I had a massage with happy end given by a handsome young man (19yo) for 50, although he asked another 50 for the sex... He accepted at once my offering 80 reais (which is anyway less than in Adan, Madrid, or Thermas, Barcelona). Place open from 16h to 22h. Yesterday (sunday) I went to sauna Opiniao, in 749 Rua Amintas Barros. It is even closer (walking distance) to Praça Santos de Andrade. The place is a less preserved villa (25 reais entrance and 12 cabine, far cheaper than Clube 520). It was almost deserted. I met anyway a nice mineiro 24yo and had an ok-time for 50 reais: nice body, ok-sex (not great), nice conversation... the best I could probably get on sundays! They are open from 16h to midnight. Summing up, it seems that regular working days are better for meeting garatos. The mineiro at Opiniao underlined the segundas (mondays) and quartas (wednesdays) as best days in the sauna; the teen at 520 said segunda to sexta, remembering last friday as a very good day; but I had to work, hélas! My experience corrcets some information of Netgay Brazil: at least partially, 520 is still a sauna with garotos. Greetings from Brazil!

Members axiom2001 Posted September 5, 2011 Members Share Posted September 5, 2011 Thanks for your report. As a visitor to Curitiba a few years back, I think I went in 2006, it's purported to be the most European of Brasilian cities; it's also know for its ecological mindiness; thus it was a very, very clean city irrespective of its being in South America. Club 520 was wonderful, but since I was ill, I chose not to be with any garotos. They asked my amigo what was the problem, he didn't say much. But when the guys approached me, etc., I smiled and said "noa obrigado!" Foz do Iguacu is a "must visit" for anyone going to Brasil or to Argentina. If one has not done this, go and take in all of this magnificence. Stay in a lodging right at the falls on either side. This experience will be long remembered. So, to the writer, thanks again for sharing. It was most appreciated by this reader!!! Theolover 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

episevilla Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 Ok, guys. I was pretty bussy my first week in Curitiba. Yesterday --sunday-- I went to Club 773, Sauna & Bar. Not many patrons, nor garotos. The last ones were around 6/8, not bad certainly, but far from Río saunas. The place is very nice, though; some years ago there was a very poor place in Centro with the same name, but they have totally improve moving to this pleasant house with some garden. I must add we have here a long weekend, and many people went outside. Let us see the ambience in working days. I met a nice guy from Goiânia, a tall 22 yo guy with good face and body. 100 BRS seems to be the regular price. I have to check Sauna 520. I hope to find more action there.

episevilla Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 A nice evening in Club 520 (Avda. Senador Souza Naves, 520 -- Curitiba). A very well preserved villa in a residential sector (Cristo Rei), not far from Centro. A guy at the gate to add safety. Across the street there is a taxi stop. The sauna is very good: nice ambience, bar, hot water in the showers, dry and wet sauna well running... There were many people today (a local feast), half clientes (some very attractive) // half garotos: from muscle to regular guys -- from the most handsome I ever have seen (he said he's going to SP) to the quite fadded ones. A muscle guy asked for 200: valeu. A cute guy with a defined body asked for 70: welcome. He was very pleasant in the cabina, too.
